scary home haircuts as physical therapy
Robb has been needing a haircut. On Monday, we made plans for him to take the bus into Berkeley, get his hair cut, and meet me when I got off work from the theater.Public transportation had other plans, however. While he was standing at the bus stop, not one, but two, buses drove past Robb without stopping. Robb manages to keep his sense of humor about this sort of thing, and gleefully recounted how he got to do his "best old man act: hobbling after the bus, and waving my cane angrily in the air."
I was chatting with some friends tonight, and told them that I was going to have to leave to the conversation because I had promised to give Robb a haircut, and needed to go find the perfect bowl.
Kelli immediately replied, "Nuuu not the bowl!!! Get up and RUN Robb!!!!
And I thought, if only it were that simple? What if proper motivation was all that was holding Robb back from being able to run?(With all the cat hair that gets produced at this house, I have long been threatening to get a Flowbee for Niobe.)

This is what really works.
Applying duct tape to the human skull and then pulling it off is a way to remove hair. I didn't say it was a good way to do it, but it works. Only try this after a night of very heavy drinking.

You're poet and didn't know it!
(O.K., you can kill me now - WITH a Flowbee if you'd like)

we have three furballs and yes, we are constantly grooming them...spoiled rotten they are :)
While the kids are young, anyhow, what do they care about 'style'? They were neat, and groomed, and nobody had to make jokes about Mom leaving bald spots.
